Chapter 504: Why Hasn’t the Tsundere Attitude Changed Yet?

Outside Qingyang City, Murong waited for the two to return safely.

She wasn’t happy, but rather very surprised, with a complicated and indescribable expression.

"You really did it."

"I rarely make promises." Bai Wei thought for a moment, then patted Nalan Qingshu’s hand.

"Hmm?" Nalan Qingshu subconsciously let go of his small hand, and then felt a weight lifted off her body.

Bai Wei handed her over to Murong Nu.

Murong caught the young girl, "You…"

"Since we’re relatives, let’s not avoid each other. Let you get closer, and let me save some energy." Bai Wei stretched his shoulders. "I’m a bit tired too."

"Aren’t you a puppet?"

"I feel tired."

"In that case, hurry and see a doctor, or write a will on the spot. I’ll find a beautiful place in the mountains to bury you."

"If the relationship is good, then give me some excellent service from the beyond life hall. I want the head of the hall to personally play the suona."

Murong Nu couldn’t get a reaction from her sarcastic remarks, so she dropped Nalan Qingshu to the ground and said, "Walk on your own."

Princess Bi Fang sighed and asked, "It seems like you haven’t awakened your bloodline yet?"

When Murong Nu heard this, she felt choked and her emotions became very complex. On one hand, she didn’t want to admit that she was Bi Fang, but on the other hand, the transformation was not based on individual will. She could only pretend to be blind and ignore it.

"Bloodline? What bloodline? I often eat at Xuan Mai."

"This isn’t blindness, it’s deafness," Bai Wei criticized.

"Who understands this?!" Murong Nu snorted. "Anyway, it’s not true. I don’t know, don’t ask me. I’ve never even heard of it!"

Bai Wei shook his head and sighed, "Escaping reality won’t make you a successful adult in the future."

Nalan Qingshu said regretfully, "If you awaken your heritage, you’ll be able to figure out which generation you belong to."

"Which generation?" Murong Nu pretended not to care, but deep down, she was curious and instinctively turned her head.

"Bi Fang heritage is rarely passed down, so your situation might not necessarily be related to my immediate family. It could also be atavism, it’s hard to say for sure."

"Hard to say…" Murong Nu was astonished, "If it’s so uncertain, why did you plan this against me?"

"This isn’t a scheme," Nalan Qingshu said seriously, "Don’t you really like money?"

"What does that have to do with money?"

"By becoming Princess Bi Fang, you’ll be able to earn more money." Nalan Qingshu pondered and continued, "Actually, my plan isn’t to force you, but once the country is restored, you’ll realize how much easier it is to gain things as a princess than working hard to earn money."

Murong Nu choked on her words. When she heard the term ‘gain without effort,’ her ears stood straight up. It was such a wonderful vocabulary, almost like the ultimate goal in life, second only to the fable of waiting for rabbits while guarding a tree stump or trying to find a sword in a boat.

But she was not foolish and immediately realized, "This doesn’t seem right. The situation in Bi Fang Country is not about getting something for nothing… It’s not easy to obtain, once involved in the struggle for the country, it will surely bring a lot of trouble. It’s not about getting something for nothing, but rather to seek comfort with an empty hope!"

Nalan Qingshu floated lightly and said, "You can deceive some investors and then leave."

"Hey!!" Murong Nu exclaimed, "Are you even speaking human language?"

Nalan Qingshu laughed and said, "I don’t really know your exact character, so I have considered this worst possibility."

"The worst possibility being running away to another country with the money?" Murong Nu furiously raised her eyebrows, "You are seriously defaming my character."

Nalan Qingshu asked, "So, you wouldn’t do it?"

"Of course not."

"Then that proves I haven’t mistaken you," Nalan Qingshu continued, "You’re wealthier than me, you can fight better than me, and you are also a Bi Fang. Since you are a Bi Fang, and even more Bi Fang than me, compare the two of us. If I sacrifice myself, it will be completely fine, it’s only natural!"

Confident and logical.

Bai Wei clapped his hands excitedly on the side, "Wonderful, wonderful!"

Which company’s experienced boss came to learn, first optimize yourself who spends all day idling and commanding without doing any real work, and then supply talents to society.

"So, no matter what you say, you are always right?" Murong Nu took a deep breath, "You princesses really have big hearts."

"Don’t plot in secret while chaos surrounds us," Bai Wei shook his head, "Chao Lu is innocent."

Murong Nu snorted, she guessed that Bai Wei would come to her defense.

Bai Wei added, "She’s just naturally mischievous, well, naturally."

Murong Nu wondered, "If you say so, won’t she get angry when she finds out?"

"No," Nalan Qingshu said confidently with her hands behind her back, "It’s just a fact, not gossiping behind her back."

Bai Wei countered, "How do you know?"

Princess Bi Fang thought for a moment and said, "Do you mean they dislike people of the same sex?"

Murong Nu sighed and said, "Listening to your relaxed conversation, I almost felt like I was mistaken. Going through Qingyang City didn’t seem to bring any real results. I lost money on this business and almost ruined myself. I won’t take this kind of thing again next time."

Bai Wei reminded, "You’re just watching a play, you know."

Murong Nu was not embarrassed that her secret was revealed, she said, "So what? I wasn’t originally responsible for this matter. It’s kind of you to follow me. Do you really expect me to charge into battle with you? It’s not realistic, it’s very difficult, you know."

Nalan Qingshu asked, "Are you so unwilling to see your true self?"

Murong Nu picked up a stone from the ground, exerted force with her fingers, and crushed it. She said, "Even if there’s no bloodline, I am still myself. This is just fine. Why does it matter which kind of blood runs in my body? I am me, and that’s enough."

Nalan Qingshu wanted to say something, but was interrupted. Murong Nu emphasized, "I will never become Bi Fang."

Princess Bi Fang no longer insisted.

Bai Wei bluntly revealed, "Just being able to enter Qingyang City and stay there for so long is already a reflection of your true attitude."

Murong Nu stared and said, "I was just going to collect the bodies."

"So, did you collect them?"

"I…"

"On one hand, you are troubled by your background, and on the other hand, you are concerned about your bloodline and want to do something. But because the risk is too high, you haven’t been able to do much. You feel embarrassed and guilty, both somewhat justified and regretful. Your attitude is both sincere and insincere, and you are pushing through with it. You’ve been working hard." Bai Wei talked confidently, pinpointing her inner conflicts.

The fourth person on the blacklist got angry and reached out, grabbing Bai Wei’s shoulder and shaking him back and forth.

"Nonsense! Utter nonsense!!"

If this were a real person, they would definitely have a dislocated skeleton or feel dizzy from being shaken. However, puppets don’t have a brain to go crazy, they are empty inside.

Bai Wei continued, "Even though you pretend to be calm and collected, your stubbornness shows how proud you are."

Murong Nu slapped Bai Wei on the face, pressing him into the sandy ground and rubbing him.

"Just this? Haven’t you eaten?"

"Shut up, shut up!"

Seeing that the two were about to ignite a fiery conflict, Nalan Qingshu hurriedly shouted to stop them, "Stop, both of you, stop fighting for my sake."

Murong and Bai Wei tilted their heads in confusion, "?"

Nalan Qingshu burst into laughter, bending over, "I’ve been wanting to say that sentence just now."

Murong Nu let go of her hand, "Forget it… I should have known you have a big mouth. Beating up puppets only makes my hand hurt."

"You hit my body, but the pain is in your hand. After all, I’m wearing armor."

Rubbing her fist, Murong Nu snorted, "I’m not as dramatic as he says. In the world of martial arts, we dare to love and hate. I can’t really help you much, but the best assistance I can offer is a discounted price."

With that said, Blacklist Rank 4 turned around and left first.

"She was really shy," Bai Wei patted the sand off his body. "She used to be proud and difficult, but she has changed and brought trouble upon herself."

Nalan Qingshu nodded gently, "Actually, she doesn’t need to be so shy. Even though she didn’t come to rescue me, I am already satisfied that she came to Qingyang City. Maybe we are each other’s only family in this world. I won’t try to force her with family ties… Just knowing that we still have a blood connection alive is enough comfort for both of us. It’s that simple."

"But for some people, they are afraid to establish stable relationships with others – those who worry will hurt them, those who make them feel wronged will hurt them, those who try to change them will dominate them," Bai Wei explained like a philosopher. "The more they believe in individual freedom, the more they tend to avoid any chances of forming emotional connections and positive relationships with others. There are pros and cons, but in their eyes, the cons outweigh the pros."

"I understand that feeling too," Nalan Qingshu said self-mockingly. "I’m also like that, afraid to build new connections and getting lost in the comfort of the past." She slapped her cheeks forcefully. "But not anymore. I can’t keep getting stuck in the past. I need to move towards the future, even if it’s not a better one. I can only actively create one for myself."

Bai Wei smiled ambiguously. Deep down, it’s natural for people to get absorbed in the comfort of the past. He was no exception either.

The sky of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom looked no different from what Yingzhou or Europa saw at night, 500 years ago or 500 years later.

Suddenly, he felt like taking a few days off.
